you need to first understand that the swelling is an abnormality happening in the tissue level. kindly meet an ortho to check your knee and please take an MRI of knee joint. it might be a ligament injury which can be eased with the help of medication, rest and small exercise. the sooner you act the sooner the gain can be. I highly recommend to meet a close by ortho specialist to get examined. bcoz sometimes ligament injuries goes unnoticed and later it may damage the joint and force u to undergo knee replacement. as the internal structure of the joints gets damaged. if it is any other issue only and MRI or a Doppler can help us understand what is actually happening within the knee joint.
